How to do the Drag Curl
- 1
Grab a barbell with a supinated grip (palms facing forward) and get your elbows close to your torso and back. This will be your starting position.
- 2
As you exhale, curl the bar up while keeping the elbows to the back as you "Drag" the bar up by keeping it in contact with your torso. Tip: As you can see, you will not be keeping the elbows pinned to your sides, but instead you will be bringing them back. Also, do not lift your shoulders.
- 3
Slowly go back to the starting position as you keep the bar in contact with the torso at all times.
- 4
Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
